21、   How does a place become a World Heritage Site  ( 世 界 遗 产 )？ It takes a lot of people to decide.

1) If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask JUESCO (联合国教科文组织).The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because it said it was great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.

2) The World Heritage committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meet every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.

3) After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.

4) Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn't taking good care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.

【1】When did the Great Wall became a World Heritage Site?

A.1987 B.1988 C.1997 D.1977

【2】The passage mainly discusses ______.

A.what the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO is

B.how the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO protects a World Heritage Site

C.how the Great Wall becomes a World Heritage Site

D.how a place becomes a World Heritage Site

22、   It is night in Nairobi, Kenya. Farmers sleep in their homes. Their cows sleep in areas surrounded with fences(栅栏) which keep small animals away. However, the fences do not stop lions, which often hunt at night. They eat other wild animals as well as the cows. On this night the lions get close to the cattle fence. But then, the lions see bright lights. The lights flash, turning on and off, as if there are people holding the lights. The lions run away. They do not know that no one is awake! An eleven year old boy invented these flashing lights. Lion lights are helping people and lions live together peacefully.

Nairobi is the fastest growing city in the world. Sixteen percent of the city is Nairobi National Park where wild animals are living. Since many places where Nairobi National Park is are not fenced, wild animals can leave the park land freely. Some of these animals, like lions, kill and eat other animals, such as cows. But farmers depend on keeping cows to make money. So they kill lions in order to protect the cows, which leads to a rapid decrease of the number of lions in Kenya. Thus, people feel they have to think of other ways to protect cows.

Richard Turere, poorly educated, has been responsible for caring for the cattle for his family since he turned six. He tried every means he could think of to keep lions away. After trying many times, Turere made a discovery. He said: One night I was walking around the cowshed with an electric light in my hand. That day the lions did not come. I discovered that lions are afraid of a moving light. So I had an idea. I got an old car battery and an indicator box, which was found in a motorcycle. It helps drivers if they want to turn right or left. It flashes. And I got a switch where I can turn on the lights, on and off. So I set up everything. The lights flashed. They tricked the lions into thinking that I was walking around, but I was sleeping in my bed!

Sometimes the best solutions are simple and local. Lion lights are a simple design by a local boy with low level of education, but they are part of solving a very big problem.

【1】How do lion lights help prevent lions from killing the cows?

A.By making lions afraid of these lights.

B.By killing lions with the help of lion lights.

C.By making lions think someone is walking around.

D.By making lions see people walking around at night clearly.

【2】People and lions couldn’t live together peacefully before the invention of lion lights because ________.

A.lions killed a lot of wild animals which farmers depend on

B.farmers killed lions to protect the cows they raised

C.lions were dangerous to people

D.Farmers hunted lions for their fur

【3】What can you infer from Paragraph 3?

A.It didn’t take Richard much time to solve the problem.

B.Lion lights are invented from Richard’s own life experience.

C.When the switch is turned on, the light will be on all the time.

D.Richard will walk around frequently at night to keep the lions away.

【4】What do you think is the best title of the text?

A.A Simple Design, a Local Boy, and a Big Difference

B.The Story of Richard Turere

C.Local People’s Solution to Saving Lions

D.The Invention of Lion Lights.

23、FIRST IMPRESSIONS

24、Can artificial intelligence uncover a liar? It sounds like science fiction, but such an AI system is possible. The question is: How accurate can it be? Rada Mihalcea, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Michigan, has worked on deception(欺骗) detection for about a decade. This is how they constructed one AI deception detector, and how it works.

The first thing that researchers working on artificial intelligence and machine learning need is data. In the case of the work that Mihalcea did, they began with videos from actual court cases. For example, a defendant speaking in a trial in which they were found guilty could provide an example of deceit(欺骗); they also used testimony(证词) from witnesses as either example of truthful or deceitful statements. Altogether, they used 121 video clips and the corresponding transcripts of what they said—about half represented deceptive statements, and half truthful. It was this data that they used to build machine learning classifiers that ultimately had between a 60 to 75 percent accuracy rate.

One thing the system noticed is the use of pronouns—people who are lying would tend to less often use the word ‘I’ or ‘we’, Mihalcea explains. “Instead, people who are lying would more often use ‘you,’ ‘yours,’ ‘he,’ ‘they,’ and ‘she.’” That’s not the only linguistic signal: someone telling a lie would use “stronger words” that “reflect certainty,” she says. Examples of those types of words are “absolutely,” and “very,” while interestingly, people telling the truth were more likely to use words such as “maybe” or “probably.” “I think people who are deceptive would try to make up for the lie they are putting forward,” she says, “and so they try to seem more certain of themselves.” As for gestures, she points out that someone being deceitful would more likely look directly into the eyes of the person questioning them. They also tended to use both hands when gesturing. Instead of just one—also, she suspects, as part of trying to be convincing.

However, Mihalcea’s work is “far from perfection,” she concedes. “As a researcher, we are content that we were able to get to 75 percent accuracy.” But looked at another way, that’s an error rate of one in four. Ultimately, she sees technology like this as being assistive for people—it could, for example, indicate that it noticed something “unusual” in a speaker’s statement, and then perhaps have a person “investigate more.”

【1】Why did the researchers gather testimony from the court?

A．To test the accuracy of AI deception detector.

B．To provide data base for machine learning.

C．To help the judges find the guilty people.

D．To understand how deception works.

【2】According to Professor Mihalcea, which is a symbol of deception?

A．Avoiding direct eye contact.

B．Using first-person pronouns.

C．Gesturing with only one hand.

D．Trying to be sure of themselves.

【3】What does Professor Mihalcea think of the new technology?

A．Flawed but promising.

B．Unsatisfying but helpful.

C．Accurate and meaningful.

D．Imperfect and impractical.

【4】Which will be the best title for this passage?

A．Will AI Rid the World of Liars?

B．What Can AI Do for Us in Court?

C．Where Is AI Leading Us in the Future?

D．Can AI Become a Convincing Detective?
